Today was probably one of the best flights I've ever had. I was supposed to go to Colorado springs from Rocky Mountain Metro preparing for my solo XC. A huge line of thunderstorms had just passed as I got to the airport and we waited it out a bit longer.
I got in a different plane than normal with very nice avionics and handled so smoothly. As the storms just passed it was also very smooth in that regard. We departed right before sunset, and rainbows were pretty much everywhere. As we continued south and were about 20 North of KCOS I began checking into the apparent thunderstorm I was concerned about in front of us. I called Flight watch and made the decision to head home. Although we would have to do the flight again I really didn't mind.
People often say its all about the journey not the destination, but not until today and this flight that I truly understood that saying to its fullest. This is why aviation is so incredible!
